He’s also recently worked on new projects with Midnite and Glen Washington. Now, the Brooklyn-via-Guyana singjay is ready to drop a new project of his own, called Upward Spiral, with production from Paper Stars, his new production/songwriting team with Andrew “Moon” Bain, as well as Dre Skull, Matt Shadetek and Zion I Kings.

The first track to emerge from the project, “Queen of the Forest” is a collaboration with Chicago-based hip hop group Illuminati Congo (vocalist Jahn The Baptist and producer Nic The Graduate), produced by Lustre Kings Productions (Andrew “Moon” Bain and Godstar). Sharing almost nothing in common with right-wing rocker Ted Nugent’s song of the same name, this “Queen of the Forest” is a “Ganja Farmer”-style weed anthem, recorded at Tuff Gong Studio with Shane Brown of Busy Signal fame.
